The Timeline Game

By ALLISON HARRELL

We've got a new history game for you today! The instructions are pretty simple:

• Click here to download a set of history cards. Every person in the deck was pulled from the 2nd through 5th grade TEKS list.
• Cut out the cards along the lines, then give them a good shuffle.
• Using the lifetime years as a hint, your task is to arrange the cards in timeline order by what the person is best known for. (For example, what came first? Alexander Graham Bell's first practical telephone or Thomas Edison's first practical electric light bulb?)
• Once you think you have everything in the correct timeline order, click here to download the answer sheet!

​Did you get it right? What timing of events caught you by surprise?
